He can track up in the air when using a special balloon jacket.  He can track a man in rubber shoes through a fish market.
He does not need his eyesight; he can track by Braille. He can cross frozen seas on drifting ice floes. He can track whirling dervishes through the center of a cyclone. He can climb ladders, greased poles, and swaying cables.
